Sadly, 2 live days and the content is still tired and redundant - AGT, JD imitations, Ronnie and Scott shouting matches, ass napkin Ed, ripping a celeb a new asshole (only to make up with them) - what's to miss? Howard has run out of things to say and doesn't invest time, energy or money to make it better - sad to see it end like this

Who negotiated Howard's last contract on the Sirius side, Wendy the Retard? I've never heard of someone getting paid so much for so little.

Didn't anybody step back from this and add up all the other programming they could have had for the dough they're paying Howard? For that kind of money, they could have easily snatched up the top 10 comedy pod casts out there and brought them in under one roof. Or, they could have worked out a reasonable deal for the rights to the old shows, started a kind of farm system of comedians who could potentially blossom into radio show hosts, and kindly let the door hit Howard on his ass on the way out.

Sirius' negotiations with Howard seem to be exactly the same as Howard's attitude towards Beth...........................they held all the cards, but they just gave 'em up to the other party. And both unions will end in court.

They could have done that for a SMALL FRACTION of what the Stern Show 2012 gets. For most podcasters you'd only have to pay them a living wage to get them to bark like a dog.

The first day back from AGT was the absolute nadir for me; I wavered over just turning the damn thing off. I finally had to fast forward through the confluence of suck that was Howard AND ETShitcock blathering about audience minutiae. I've never done that before, except commercials. Freaking awful. The first hour of each show is gladhanding AGT talk and miraculous new CA "listener" calls, and the last hour of the show is news reading interspersed every 45 seconds with a commercial live read. Maybe there's some content somewhere in the middle there. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment, but even I am almost done.
